Are local desktop printers (USB printers) supported with PaperCut?
Yes. Local desktop printers such as USB printers directly connected to a workstation can be tracked by PaperCut. A couple of options include:
-
Using Direct Printing Monitoring on the workstation that the USB printer is connected to. If you’re looking to set up Find Me Printing with a direct-connected printer, check out the Direct Printing Find me section of the PaperCut NG/MF help center.
-
Using Print Deploy in a print serverless environment to deploy direct print queues for users.
